10Viewer 319 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Did anybody just catch the "NBC News Update" crawl that just happened at 8:19ET? Thought it was interesting. I've never seen NBC do that before. It was to announce the death of Whitney Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rah6448 21 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Wasn't able to notice, but I was able to find out about the passing of Whitney Houston via Facebook, and the NBC 4 LA app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Viewer 319 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 I had the TV on but wasn't watching it. I heard the "NBC" chimes and ran over and saw a crawl coming across the bottom of the screen. First time I've seen NBC do that. Makes sense instead of breaking into programming.

Bucc 4 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 They've done it a few times before. It's nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev57 46 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The first time I saw them do it was the night President Obama announced the death of Bin Laden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Viewer 319 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Yeah, I think I do remember them using the crawl when Bin Laden died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
